Cardboard Progress Report

As I typed the title I felt like a second grade teacher sending a report home for the parents of a child mid-semester. Here is the progress your (cardboard creation) has made during the (duration of project).

The assignment is to take a natural object and recreate it - on a huge scale - using ONLY cardboard and Elmer's glue.

Here is my progress in chronological order:

{preliminary sketches}

{sketch with skeleton of shell and actual shell}

{shell with skeleton}

{skeleton with cardboard pieces giving it height}

{covering with craft paper to make it look smooth}

{applying pressure to make sure the bonds are strong}

{top of seashell taking shape}

{wet cardboard is MUCH more pliable than dry cardboard}

{tape holding the cardboard in place while the glue dried}

The cardboard seashell is due on Tuesday! I'll post final pictures then :)
